The Jam

[Heston]

If the Clash had never existed I think I'd be on a Jam board. What's with "Modern World" getting dissed all the time? Just had it on, a quality album.

Tonight At Noon
I Need You
Standards

Better than the debut.

[Heston]

I always suspected this was an American board.

Modern World is ok but not as good as In The City. I think it got dissed because it was clearly an early breakaway from 'Punk' plus a number of the songs sound the same.

We call our Burton suit-wearing, dead ferret-haired mod Americana revivalists "Jelly" in this country.

Don't tell them you're sane and The Combine inspired by One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. It's not a bad album but it lacks some of the attack of their first.

A Jam board if there was no Clash, well I'm on a Pistols, Buzzcocks, Damned, already so probably not. Jam fans are a bit too single minded for me. Little Englanders.

Fake country fake mods.

No R 'N' B no mods = America wins.

[Chuck Mangione]

5 songs I love off the debut:

Art School
Away from the Numbers
I've Changed My Address
In the City
Sounds from the Streets

Paul Weller is one fantastic songwriter. I don't think they ever had a bad album, or a Combat Rock, if you will.

Paul Weller is one fantastic songwriter. I don't think they ever had a bad album, or a GEER, if you will.

I don't think they ever had a bad album, or a Cut the Crap, if you will.

There, now we can all agree.

The Clash all bases are covered. No one goes home empty handed.

That's the way I feel about the album. The only tracks I like are :
Life from a Window
I Need You
Midnight Hour

I love all the other Jam albums, but Modern World I only listned to once or twice. In the 80's I put the songs I liked on cassette with the debut album to fill out the tape.

I would swap the clumsy Wilson Picket cover for Standards and maybe add London Traffic, although not a great track it has that frenetic energy of the first album.

I like Modern World as well. I actually think its at least on par with In the City.

Here's a brief appraisal of my opinions on the songs. I'd go back and give it another try mate.

"The Modern World" Great
"London Traffic" Poor, even by Bruce's standards.
"Standards" Good
"Life from a Window" Great
"The Combine" Good track
"Don't Tell Them You're Sane" (Bruce Foxton) Okay
"In the Street Today" (Paul Weller, Dave Waller) Good
"London Girl" Okay
"I Need You (For Someone)" Excellent
"Here Comes the Weekend" Okay
"Tonight at Noon" Excellent
"In the Midnight Hour" Below-par cover

I only have the songs on the boxset in a different order and gave them a listen.
Along with the tracks I already mentioned, I'll add Tonight at Noon,The Combine and Standards as some pretty good songs.
If Standards had a faster tempo it could've been one of the best Jam songs back in the day.
